How to debug javascript client?

matomo.js was loaded.

Classic mistake. Trying to pull the tracking code through webpack, where the _paq name probably get’s mangled:

Tracking Code with Webpack

After trying a lot of different scenarios, it doesn’t seem possible to have the Matomo tracking code compiled into webpacker. I have a Rails 6 app with webpacker, which uses webpack to compile all the Javascript into one file. This has the advantage of having all the JS in one place, and only one file to download. While I can get the Matomo tracking code to compile successfully into webpack, it doesn’t seem to send any data back to the server. It’s not a huge deal. I’m just putting the code in…

Putting it directly in the html seems to help.

Good tip checking window._paq, but for me it just contains:
{push: ƒ}

On https://matomo.org/ it does contain a lot of items.
